I agree with Ben on the nurse crop. My preference is to plant a grain crop and either hay it or take the grain off and then seed into the grain stubble which is smooth firm seedbed in the fall. By seeding in the fall we get a full crop of grain or grain hay that year and then the next year a full crop of alfalfa.
With todays inputs you cannot afford to have a half crop. my .02
